Capital Gain Tax Overview
Your Investment Property asked chartered accountant and practicing lawyer, Michael Quinn, to explain some little-known ways to avoid CGT when turning your home into a rental property. One downfall to renting out an investment property is the capital gains tax (CGT) that will be payable upon the sale of the property. CGT is the tax charged on capital gains that are procured from an asset. You are liable to pay this tax when your capital gains exceed your capital losses in an income year. However, there are legal ways to avoid paying CGT while renting out your house, capital gains tax exemptions are allowed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) under certain scenarios. People’s lives are constantly changing. Whether it’s due to a change of future plans or circumstances, there are many reasons why you may decide to lease out your main place of residence. In order to do this without incurring CGT, be sure to understand the ATO’s rulings with regards to this topic. The following simple rules apply: Only your main place of dwelling will be exempt from CGT. Thus, you can’t own two properties, live in one for a couple of years and then alternate between that property and your main residence while avoiding paying CGT on both houses. Usually, if you purchased a house after 7:30pm on 20 August 1996 you have to have lived in it when it was first bought (ie. not rented it out) to be entitled to a full exemption. This is because by renting the property straight away, the ATO deems you to have acquired the property purely as an investment to produce income. Provided the above terms are met, you are exempt from CGT if you rent out your home for less than 6 years. If you’ve held a property for more than 12 months and the ATO has deemed you subject to CGT, you are entitled to a 50% discount. Capital gains tax is dependent on individual circumstances and as such claims can become quite complex. This is especially true where you own multiple properties and increase the frequency with which you move from one property to another. Exceptions to the rule Below is a summary of the criteria for full and partial exemptions: Full exemptions To qualify for a full CGT exemption, the property must have been your main residence from when you acquired it. If you move out of the property and rent it out, you can continue to claim an exemption from CGT for up to six years after you move out. If you do not rent it out, you can claim a CGT exemption for the property for an indefinite period after you move out. Moving from your main residence could be for reasons such as: Accepting a new job interstate or overseas Staying with a sick relative long term Going on an extended holiday A taxpayer can still apply the six-year exemption rule if they acquire and reside in another property. However, there is no ‘Main Residence’ exemption applied to the second property which subsequently becomes subject to capital gains tax. Partial exemptions In situations where multiple properties are acquired over the period, the ATO sees the six years as cumulative. This denotes that you only get six rental years in total before you are liable to pay CGT. Fortunately, the CGT will be exacted proportionately, for instance if you made a $200,000 capital gain on a property that you rented out for eight years, you will only have to pay CGT for the two-year period that exceeds the six-year exemption. Thus, the CGT will be exacted on $50,000, then take into account the 50% discount for holding a property for over 12 months and this gets dropped down to $25,000. You will be able to verify whether or not this exemption applies to you via the ATO website, or through a CGT knowledgeable accountant. Partial main residential exemption after 1996 If you originally bought the house with the intent to rent it out after 20 August 1996 but later changed your mind and chose to live here, you will become partially exempt from CGT on a proportionate basis of ‘years lived in’ to ‘years rented’. When there is a change of status from income producing to main residence or vice versa, you should obtain a valuation as of that date. A real estate agent’s valuation should suffice; however, a valuation from a licensed valuer is recommended. Below are some general yet useful guidelines: Although there are provisions for farmers, properties larger than two hectares are not exempt from CGT. The residences of private companies and trusts (etc.) do not qualify for a CGT exemption. Capital gains tax can be a very intricate topic.

The young buyers on good money who still can’t buy a home
https://www.realestate.com.au/news/sixfigure-salaries-the-20somethings-you-dont-want-to-bid-against/ The young buyers on good money who still can’t buy a home Elizabeth Tilley, Property Journalist Updated 21 Feb 2026, 12:42pm First published 21 Feb 2026, 12:41pm Jacob Mulcahy, 26, with fiancee, Callie Abrahams, 26, are looking to buy a house in Brisbane later this year. Picture: Liam Kidston. Most first homebuyers wouldn’t want to see Jacob Mulcahy and Callie Abrahams, coming. The young Brisbane couple, both 26, are among the pool of under-35s looking to get into the property market — but they have an advantage. While most twenty-somethings are still living at home and earning the minimum wage, Jacob and Callie both earn almost six-figures each, have full-time jobs and are living their best lives renting an inner Brisbane apartment. They are hoping to buy a house before the end of the year and have a budget of around $1m. Jacob Mulcahy, 26, with fiancee, Callie Abrahams, 26, in their inner-city appartment. Picture: Liam Kidston. “We are in a really good position,” Jacob said. “But, the stress is still there. “Our borrowing capacity is only going to be around $1.1m, so we have to face the decision of living further away or settling for an older, less ideal place. “Deposit-wise, we would have to put down all our savings, which is about $150,000 to $200,000, plus stamp duty and other fees.” RELATED: How first-home buyers rolled a tax bill into their home loan Brisbane one-bedroom apartment prices surge past $700,000 in fierce auctions The couple is also getting married in April, which will further eat into savings. “If prices keep climbing, it’s the fear of being priced out,” Jacob said. “Even if you spend another year or two saving for the deposit, you’re behind.” “But, we are fortunate. Callie did buy a townhouse in April 2020, so we do have that equity option as well.” Jacob Mulcahy, 26, with fiancee, Callie Abrahams, 26, in their inner-city apartment. Picture: Liam Kidston. It comes as new research suggests a young cohort of cashed-up, high-earning under-35s could be driving some of the home price rises in the Brisbane market. The analysis by Stop Renting Australia reveals the highest-earning young Queenslanders are heavily concentrated in inner-Brisbane suburbs and mining towns, creating micro-markets where six-figure salaries before 35 are no longer rare — and where first-home buyers on average incomes can’t compete.

Brisbane’s wealthiest under-35s live in inner-city suburbs like Newstead and Bowen Hills, new research has found. Picture: Glenn Campbell. “They’re at that point where they’re deciding whether to buy a home to live in, or shift their focus to rentvesting, which has become super common,” Mr Creaton said. “You can still live have the inner-city lifestyle, but get a foot in the door in the property market somewhere you might not want to live, like Ipswich or Toowoomba. “Even if you’re a couple earning $200,000 to $300,000 combined, you’d be hard pressed to buy within Brisbane’s 5km ring.” Callie and Jacob, who are also Mr Creaton’s clients, are the exception. “We did consider putting our savings into something we could rent out because at least then we’re entering the market,” Jacob said. “I think because we want kids, it’s just that classic decision to move into the suburbs and buy a house.” Help us improve your reading experience Got a minute?

February Newsletter
It’s been a busy few weeks in the property world. Most notably, the Reserve Bank of Australia increased the cash rate for the first time since November 2023. Even so, property prices have continued to climb in several markets and housing confidence has held up. As interest rates and lending conditions shift, having professional guidance can help you navigate your options. Whether you’re purchasing or thinking about refinancing, we can compare lenders and help you understand what’s available. Interest rate news At its first meeting for 2026, the RBA hiked the cash rate 0.25 percentage points to 3.85% in response to rising inflation data. The widely anticipated decision marked the end of the shortest rate-cutting cycle in the RBA’s modern history, after three cash rate reductions in February, May and August of last year. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.8% in the 12 months to December, up from 3.4% in the 12 months to November. Meanwhile, underlying inflation (as represented by the trimmed mean) was 3.3% in the 12 months to December, slightly up from 3.2% in the 12 months to November. The RBA wants inflation “sustainably” within its target band of 2 to 3%, preferably around the midpoint. “The recent run of data gives the board a clear enough view (that) the underlying inflation is too strong,” RBA governor Michele Bullock told reporters after the decision. “Now, I know this is not the news that Australians with mortgages want to hear, but it is the right thing for the economy.” After the decision, all of Australia’s big four banks were quick to announce they’d be passing on the cash rate increase. According to Roy Morgan data, February’s cash rate hike could send 1.3 million households into mortgage stress territory, adding another $115 to the monthly repayment on an average $694,000 mortgage. If you’re feeling concerned, reach out and we’ll let you know whether your lender is increasing your interest rate, what that means for your repayments and whether you could find a more competitive loan elsewhere. The RBA board will announce the next cash rate call on 17 March. February’s decision was unanimous, and there’s widespread talk there may be more increases to come. Home value movements According to Cotality, national dwelling values rose 0.8% in January, up from a 0.6% increase in December, with all capital cities recording positive growth for the month. Perth outshone all the other capitals, with prices rising 2%. Brisbane’s monthly gain slowed from 2% in October last year to 1.6% in January, and Adelaide’s monthly increase dropped back to 1.2% from a 1.8% rise in December. Sydney and Melbourne lagged behind. Cotality research director Tim Lawless noted that housing values are still rising despite affordability constraints and the prospect of further rate hikes, though momentum is expected to slow. “The ongoing capital gains reflect persistently low inventory in the face of above-average housing demand, however, we are likely to see demand side pressures gradually ease in 2026,” he said. “Affordability and serviceability constraints are likely to naturally dampen demand, but also renewed cost-of-living pressures and a strong chance that interest rates will rise. There is also slowing population growth to consider.” Meanwhile, regional markets performed strongly in January, with Cotality’s combined regionals index up 1%.

With interest rates trending higher, it may be a good time to review your home loan and consider your options. Refinancing could help reduce the amount of interest you pay overtime, making it worth exploring. Likewise, if you’re planning to buy, we can compare the market and organise pre-approval on your finance, so that you can dive in confidently with an offer or bid. It’s also worth noting that from 1 February, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) introduced limits on high debt-to-income lending. Banks are now restricted to issuing no more than 20% of new home loans to borrowers with a debt-to-income ratio of six times or more, with the cap applied separately to owner-occupier and investor loans. The measure is designed to curb risky lending, so if this applies to you, chat to us about your options.
